Exchange Students Love FlatSwaps
Real stories from students who transformed their study abroad experience
Emma Thompson
University of Edinburgh → Barcelona
"During my semester abroad in Barcelona, FlatSwaps was a lifesaver! I swapped my Edinburgh flat with a local student and got to experience authentic Spanish living. It saved me thousands compared to student housing and I made a lifelong friend.
James Rodriguez
UC Berkeley → Amsterdam
"As a computer science student doing research at UvA, finding affordable housing in Amsterdam seemed impossible. Through FlatSwaps, I connected with another student and we both got authentic local experiences instead of expensive tourist accommodations.
Sophie Chen
NUS Singapore → Berlin
"My year abroad studying at TU Berlin was incredible thanks to FlatSwaps. Living in a real Berlin apartment instead of a dorm gave me such a deeper cultural immersion. Plus, my exchange partner loved exploring Singapore from my place!
